About Mansion

Mansion is a grand, beautiful villa from the 1930s situated
in Zoqaq el-Blat. Abandoned during the civil war, the house with its spacious
rooms, high ceilings and terraced garden has now, once again, come to life in the form of a new artistic space in central Beirut.Since opening in 2012, Mansion has re-emerged as a multi-purpose
collective space, hosting film screenings, discussions, performances and
exhibitions for the public, as well as offering 10 working studios for
permanent residents. A library and reading space is open for public use. There
is also a guest-room welcoming short-time users, and on the second level, a
large wooden floor regularly hosting dance and theatre rehearsals, performances
and yoga classes.
